Partial Support for Travel of American Scientists to the Fifth International Congress of Plant Pathology in Kyoto, Japan, August 20-27, 1988

部分资助美国植物病理学学会，以便美国相关领域的植物病理学家和科学家前往日本京都参加将于1988年8月20日至27日举行的第五届国际植物病理学大会。这一国际会议每五年举行一次，本届大会将是第五届专门讨论这一科学领域的大会。2万美元的旅行支持金额是根据参与计划并受邀参加的美国植物病理学家的数量而定的，有多少人表示，如果有资金，他们计划参加，以及为使我国在这一重要的大会上有适当的代表所需要的财政支助的估计数。学会将负责召开会议，美国科学家的适当参与至关重要，因为许多其他国家也对植物生物学的这些方面有浓厚的研究兴趣。首席研究员Kelman博士是一位备受尊敬的植物生物学家，该协会在管理国际旅行奖励方面有着良好的记录。

Partial support is provided to the American Phytopathological Society in order for plant pathologists and scientists in related fields from the United States to travel to Kyoto, Japan in order to participate in the Fifth International Congress of Plant Pathology to be held on August 20-27, 1988. This international meeting has been scheduled at five year intervals and this Congress will be the fifth one that is devoted exclusively to this area of science. The amount of travel support, $20,000, is based on the number of American plant pathologists involved in planning the program and invited to participate, the number who have indicated that they are planning to participate if funding is available and an estimate of the financial support required to enable this country to be represented properly at this important Congress. The Society will assume responsibility for meeting at which it is critical to have appropriate participation by U.S. scientists as many other countries also have strong research interests in these aspects of plant biology. The principal investigator, Dr. Kelman, is a highly regarded plant biologist and the Society has a proven track record in managing an international travel award effort.
